Ready-to-buy ones are an awful value, because so little comes in the basket for the money. Making baskets are pretty quick and easy- you just need a basket, some Easter grass, and some things to fill it with ( usually candies and small toys, or small gifts if the basket is for an adult). You can go the extra mile and wrap it in cello wrap with a bow to make it look like the store-bought ones, but that's not mandatory.
My hubby likes plants, so I usually fill a plastic flower pot witih some of his favorite candy bars and a few gardening things ( like plant seeds, fertilizer, etc) to give him Easter Sunday- he's usually pretty pleased with that. Plus it's got that spring theme.

Easter baskets are fine either store bought or home made.
I enjoy making them becasue I know the money I spend will be spent on toys and candy that the kids actually like.
when you buy one, there are toys in there that aren't always what the kids playwith.
But I have to admit, they are getting better. However, if I am going to pay $30.00 for an easter basket, I better get something my kids like and play with for a while.

As an adult my Mom gave all of us our old Easter baskets, she re did them every year. I still fill the one I had as a child for my Daughter.

you mean the basket itself??? most people buy them, if you dont really know what to get some places, like walmart sell them already filled and sealed in plastic, however i usually bought the basket and stuffed it myself, often with things i had made, but sometimes with purchased bunnies and such.

I would imagine most people on this site make their own. The ones you buy have hardly anything in them.

I usually buy a plain one and decorate it myself.

I prefer to make mine and so did my parents. You can personalize them when you make them yourself
